Ah yes! This movie is as bad as the soundtrack is good!!! I have the vinyl record of this movie. Always wanted to see the movie and was sad to say that I did watch it a few years ago. It wasn’t a pleasent experience.

Oh God, I want to know what happens in this film. How bad is it? *Dulhan* level bad? Nanha Farishta? Badi Behen? Aah? Or does it stand in a league of its own? Some example, a piece of dialogue or screen cap, maybe? Please…

Definitely Badi Bahen level, possibly Dulhan. I believe the screencaps I put up there pretty much sum it up! Nothing but woe, pain, suffering, outrageously bad behavior on the part of people who are supposed to “love” each other. UGH.

Please accept my regards for the great job you are doing in bringing out ” little Gems” of Bollywood to light.I have been a regular reader of your blog but however never emerged out of the” shadows” to post a comment. I would also like to know something more about Col Kapoor, the man who introduced ShahRukh Khan to the world

I think Col Kapoor is Trilok Kapoor, who was a brother or cousin or something of Prithviraj Kapoor’s. He had a very long career in movies, but I don’t know much more about him than that. And thanks :) Nice to have you out of the shadows!

Col Kapoor is not Trilok Kapoor, he is Col Raj Kapoor. He acted in quite a few movies in the 1970s and 1980s. Top of mind is Qurbani: he is the white-bearded man you can first see at around 00:14 in this clip:
